Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) After losing everything he owns, forester Will Scarlet embarks on a search for none other than King Raven, whose exploits have already become legendary. After fulfilling his quest--and proving himself a skilled and loyal companion--Will joins the heroic archer and his men.
Now, however, Will is in prison for a crime he did not commit. His sentence is death by hanging--unless he delivers King Raven and his band of cohorts.
That, of course, he will never do.
Wales is slowly falling under the control of the invading Normans, and King William the Red has given his ruthless barons control of the land. In desperation, the people turn to King Raven and his men for justice and survival in the face of the ever-growing onslaught.
From deep in the forest they form a daring plan for deliverance, knowing that failure means death for them all.

My Review:
I give this book a 4 out of 5.
This was a great continuation of the trilogy. The main reason I had to give this four stars instead of five is that I found the beginning half of the book rather confusing as it jumped from Will's first person point of view as he related the story of his capture to the point of view of someone else. It was hard to judge if the chapters not in Will's point of view were happening while Will was relating his story or if they were happening simultaneously. It became much clearer later on in the book that everything was happening at the same time as events in Will's story.
All in all it was an excellent book, and I'm anxious to get on with the final book in the trilogy, Tuck.
You can purchase Scarlet through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
